NEF Block Kids Building Competition
The NAWIC Education Foundation (NEF) Block Kids Building Program is a national building competition for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade and introduces them to construction careers. Our Central Missouri Chapter sponsors this free event for students in mid-Missouri.
Participants are asked to create something construction related without adult help or guidance using approved materials.

Participants are given 45 minutes to complete their project using blocks, foil, string, and a rock.
After finishing their project, students have the opportunity to complete a woodworking project - this year they took home a tool caddy!
Awards and prizes are given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each age group, as well as Grand Champion for the overall highest scoring project!
